    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A wonderful cypress found growing in only the headwaters of King Creek in the Cuyamaca mountains of San Diego, California, this wonderful variety reaches 20-50' and almost as wide forming a spreading tree with a central leader; its most distinct characteristic is the color of its smooth bark which varies from pink to grey to white; a fine addition to the Xeriscape garden.
